The Twelfth Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence

The Twelfth Conference on Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence

Sponsored by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence

The Twelfth Innovative Applications of Artificial Intelligence Conference on Artificial Intelligence (IAAI-00) was collocated with AAAI-00, and held
Tuesday – Thursday, August 1–3, 2000, at the convention center in Austin, Texas

IAAI-2000 was THE Place to Learn about AI's Success!

The Twelfth Annual Conference on Innovative Applications of
Artificial Intelligence (IAAI-2000) was the place to be to learn about
AI's successes through deployed real world example applications and
emerging AI technologies and applications.

Case studies of deployed applications, with measurable benefits whose
value depends on the use of AI technology, were resented. In
addition, IAAI-2000 augmented these case studies with papers and invited
talks that addressed emerging areas of AI technology or applications. IAAI
was organized as an independent program within the National Conference,
with coordinated schedules to allow attendees to move freely between
IAAI and National Conference sessions. IAAI-00 and the National Conference
jointly sponsored invited talks that fit the theme of both
programs.

AI applications developers benefited from learning about new AI
techniques that will enable the next generation of applications. Basic
AI research benefited by learning about challenges of real-world
domains and difficulties and successes in applying AI techniques to real
business problems. IAAI-2000 addressed the full range of AI
techniques including knowledge-based systems, language and speech
understanding, planning and scheduling, data mining, case-based
reasoning, ontologies, neural networks, simulation, and so on. The
deployed applications papers were case studies that provided a valuable
guide to designing, building, managing, and deploying systems
incorporating AI technologies. These applications provided clear evidence
of the impact and value that AI technology has in today's world.

Papers in the Emerging Applications and Technologies area described
efforts whose goal was the engineering of AI applications. They informed AI
researchers about the utility of specific AI techniques for applications
domains and also informed applications developers about tools and
techniques that will enable the next generation of new and more powerful
applications.
